Brachioradial pruritus – http://id.who.int/icd/entity/1661606310

Brachioradial pruritus is a neurogenic itch syndrome of the upper extremities. It is typically localised to the skin on the dorsolateral forearm overlying the proximal head of the brachioradialis muscle, but involvement of the upper arms and shoulders is also common. It may be unilateral or bilateral. Scratching reportedly only makes the discomfort worse, and most patients discover that application of cold packs is often the only therapy that provides symptomatic relief.
